I'm subscribed to around 800 channels - this one is my favourite hands down and I've never even done bodywork on a car before, though I'm gathering all the tools and equipment to follow in your footsteps. Very VERY inspiring, perfectly explained and I love the music and the editing as well, really top notch!

Love the fact that you promote other creators and always give credit to the people you have learned from in every technique and tool you show.

These videos are excellent! The explanation of the tension in the sheet caused by the quilting in the center versus the untouched frame makes sense. There is too much material remaining in the frame. The dimple die helps absorb or consume the surplus material in the frame. I’m starting to do more sheet metal forming so watching these videos is so helpful. I can go down to my own shop and put my hands on the material and it all makes sense much quicker.

You are the last person that should be nervous on KZfaq. You know what you are doing and explain it well. Also, you come across as a really great guy that everyone would want to know. I'm still trying to figure that out for my channel!

Hey Karl, Your right, it did turn out gorgeous. That would look awesome in older rides. You make it look easy but, I know you've been doing it for awhile now. Great video. Take care and be safe.

Well done Karl. As a beadrolling artist myself I appreciate the different ways other people choose to make panels. I love the dimpling idea. I will certainly be trying to incorporate that into some of my panels. I like to run multiple passes when beadrolling. It seems to stretch it slowly and keep the taco effect down. It will still warp a touch but not nearly as bad as doing full pressure in 1 pass.

I will be making more use of the air hammer after watching this video, great tips great channel keep it up Karl

That is GENIOUS. I never even thought about using my air hammer. Holy cow. It made all the different using a jig. Last time I did any of this I used wood though. Which didn't turn out the flattest pieces. But the price of metals today would make that so much more expensive. And man, I need to get a Tig welder so bad. Them door panels are gorgeous.

I ‘stalled’ in watching this video as I was working last night. Just watched it and super impressed AGAIN by Karl’s skills, Knowledge and instructional ability. Even ‘shy’ Karl comes over as above.. Karl you are a natural and I now have someone to blame for stalling getting my own ‘Boogie Van’ back up and do running.. I just ‘need’ a bead roller and some time practising… ‘quilted panels’ are the future….. like garlic bread…

A slip roller would also get a lot of the curve out from the bead roller to. I did this with parts that got curved from a strippit punch. Works great for me. Another great video Karl. 👍👍

Karl, your videos are just awesome! Your talent for metalworking is incredible and it's clear you really enjoy what you do. The cherry on the sundae is your willingness to share your knowledge: you explain not only what you're doing but why you do it and how it works that way. I've watched a bunch of your videos and shared some of the concepts with my guys in the shop. Working in the military, we don't do full resto or fab projects but there are frequently opportunities to straighten this piece or that and weld for a less costly or sooner repair.

Your slicker than dog poop in wet grass... probably the best fab guy on the internet. Thanks for all the great ideas!

Cool stuff!

BTW: I watch Bad Chad, Fitzee, and other channels. I enjoy all of the videos, and I find you are all complementary to each other, and there is something to learn from all of you.

Great stuff!

Well done!

Love this channel!!!!

Afternoon Karl, out of your videos that I've watched, the hammer form video, related to me, because I don't have a shop full of metal working equipment, I have a box brake, bead roller, you get the picture..from your video I know I can make body mount parts quite easily.....but quite honestly, my favorite part of your video was your explanation of your bead rolling wheels, I can do basic bead rolling, but now I'm ready to move on to some more intricate stuff... awesome!!! Be safe!! God Bless!!!

Good work

Nice work

Another awesome video.

That was great. Thank you.

Great video thanks

Great video Karl👌🏽

THIS MIGHT BE LONG BUT WANT TO SHOW SOME LOVE. For all you do!!! “Why would I make a body mount for a square body Chev, that you can buy for $30?”…. I say to doubters, naysayers or just plain haters…. “WHY NOT!” I myself LOVE the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes with building something with your hands. Something you maybe designed and thought up on your own. Or is a solution to a problem such as the body mounts themselves. (Logistics & low quality) So yeah there’s nothing like building/fabing/modifying those things on your own. Even if the part already exists. As I said I LOVE IT as I’m SURE you do yourself Mr. JapHands aka Mr. Make It Kustom GOOD STUFF! Inspiring! Motivating! And nice to see how far you have come since the early days of making videos. You have gotten more comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of the videos are better all the way around. But the passion and pride in your work was there back then. But it shows you just wanted to help others out there get the knowledge, skills and confidence to go out and give it a shot themselves!!! Well done keep it up and I’ll be here to continue watching and supporting my man!!!

Back in 79' I was working repairing a couple of 90' aluminum landing craft/tugs that worked the North Slope. They were really fatigued and had a lot of previous crack repairs. Where the wheelhouse and deckhouse attached to the deck was also the juncture of the wing tanks and engine room bulkheads creating a real hard spot. The wing tank bulkheads (fuel oil/bunkers) had obviously repeatedly cracked out where they met the deck plating and it had a multi-pass weld that had a triangular cross section of about 4" X 4" with dozens and dozens of passes. Prior to the repairs, the tanks were air tested with about a 0.5 psi and at the end of this multi-pass weld was a crater that was spewing air. Basically, the fuel, and/or water, that was with the crack was flashing into steam and it would blow out and leave a crater at the end of a pass. I had a great guy working with me that had worked Todd's shipyard during WWII (he was about 6 months away from his Boilermaker retirement) and he had me grind a ball point of about a 3/16" radius on the end of an air hammer. He referred to it as a "bobbing tool" and when I "bobbed" the porosity at the end of the weld crater I was able to put a spot of weld over it and seal it. The bobbing tool had upset the hole and sealed it up so it didn't blow back out when welding it. I repaired those boats for a few more years and always used this technique to good effect.

I feel kind of weird down here in California. I mean, here I am, in the birthplace of hot rodding, honing my craft by watching all of these Canadian KZfaq channels. 😂 You’re videos are great Karl! Always SUCH great inspiration. And I follow pretty much every one of those other channels you mentioned, too. Keep up the good work.

Love your work and tips, thank you.

Great tips. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant! Just learned something new!

Another simple yet very useful idea. I can see tons of uses for hammer forming. Clean and detailed makes the end result that much better.

Very nice vid Very nice work!!!! 👍👍👍

Love the panels 🥰 beautiful 🤩

Great video, Karl! 👍🏼🍸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good info and excellent work Cheers

Keep up the great videos Karl, they're all informative!

Those panels look awesome .

thanks so much for all the details 👍👍😎👍👍

Nice work, super clean🙆🏻‍♂️

You named all my favs... besides B.C. which is informative on quick and dirty tech but also sloppy and hard to watch. Even Halfass is less half assed! Haha, Brent actually builds cool stuff and Tony is a master at building body panels from dust.

Love your videos. I learn a lot from you. Thank you for being willing to share.

Nice I watch all those channels. Thanks for the tips!

Agreed! Clean and pristine panels look GREAT!

Awesome work man. i learn something new from u. 🙏

The panels look great

You are an excellent teacher Karl

You are an awesome craftsman and teacher. Thanks for the videos!

Great video Karl Also for sharing the reference to some other great content

Brillant video Karl, always learning new techniques from you❤️

I’m subscribed and I liked it, once again great fun to hang out on your channel.

Cool vudeo. Thanks for explanation. 👍 Cheers. 🍻

Great video as always. Man you are one talented guy. Take care and stay safe.

Super fabrication. Really enjoyed todays class.

Been using a few of your tips and tricks. Very satisfying. Thanks

Those panels are just the coolest ones I have seen. 😎👍🇨🇦

Sweet again. Yes I watch dd speed shop and bad Chad also. You all are awesome

Those panels were really nice! Great quality work and an excellent job on the video as well!

Nice!!! That body mount tutorial is right on time. I need to fab some for the 50.

Awesome!!!!! I love the hammer forming and the bead rolling!! Please do more bead rolling!!!

Great info and tips on a different but efficient way of getting er done bud!!! Awesome end product.

Karl you have the talent and knowledge.Look forward to all your videos.By the way I do subscribe to all the channels you mentioned.Keep them coming.

Nice work on parts and video both.

Thanx so much for the time and effort. Great idea using an air hammer Very useful info 👍

Watching your videos are so mentally rewarding and so relaxing,you do great projects. Kind regards Dain

I love your "how-to" videos! You explain things really well and I am learning SO much! Thank you!

Hey man. You are a badass fabricator. Thank you for the videos

Sunday morning breakfast. Your amazing. Thank you for your time.

Hey Karl,please teach Bad Chad some of your tricks,he is in some serious trouble!,LOL!!,Cheers from Toronto!!!!!!

Your stuff is golden.... working on a squarebody myself.

There’s another Chanel you may like called fitzees, he doesn’t use expensive equipment. But he does amazing work.

Your work's very neat and professional Karl, your passion shines through in it.

Love to see so much talent and passion all the time for the little details. 💪🏼 Greetings from Bavaria ✌🏼

I know this was done a while ago, but it was one of my favorite to watch! Great Stuff

I love this vid, explaining what you are doing to the customer's custom work

I really can't wait to see the Cadillac done, this has been very informative. Thanks!

Loved the air hammer work! For 45 yrs I’ve been using one to break ball joints and cutting the tops off oil drums. Who knew you could do cool shit with one?

Make it awesome is so fun to watch.....love it....and yes I know its make it custom

Another channel from Canada worthy of watching is Carters Auto. Informative and entertaining

I was taught the air hammer method in body shop class in the lats 70's. We had to, no overnight parts shipping back then. Great job, great looking parts!

still my favorite channel, hands down.

Awesome work...again. Thank you for sharing. Bro you are an Artist...You inspire me...From South Africa

I guess Kristina is an asset to Karl Fisher and what I can say with confidence is that she is a real asset to Japhands KZfaq. thanks to both of you

Another great lesson thanks! and please show more, doesn't matter when yu filmed it, the content is off the hook man, thanks!!!

Top notch tips! Love the idea of the location pin as it will be better than a bolt as it’s a tight fit. Have to look into the air hammer to see if I can source the hammer attachments on this side of the world… thanks for the great tips.

Thanks for teaching us :) and its people like yourself that make sure the custom world continues to move forward to others learn skills they might not have before. So thank you for your time and we get work comes first :)

I learned metal fab in Winnipeg (thanks chamber of commerce), I am so impressed with your fab skills! Keep doing it up! Get a turret lathe...

Been too busy to KZfaq once again, but I've finally got some time, back to my fav channel, and boy do I have some catching up to do! Wish I was 50 years younger and could spend a summer apprenticing with you. Keep up the great work!!

Two very instructive videos, and the timing was perfect. The other day, I got in a hurry while welding up a transmission table to mount into the receptacle of my floor jack, to do a one time job. I was welding the thing out of scrap, and was filling a 6" by 6", 16 gauge hole in the middle of the table, and because I was in a hurry, I warped it. Now, just for the experience, I am going to use my air hammer to stretch it back into shape. It should be fun, thanks for the tip.

Welder fabricator for life and keep up the good work cuz you can't teach an old dog new tricks I did watch you a lot thank you

Always a wealth of information and inspiration, thanks again for sharing it with all of us much less talented than you .

Amazing presentation of techniques accessible to home gamers like me! I never knew that such complex parts could be made this way. This is fantastic!

Btw ... The growth of this channel in the last 3 months is amazing . Way to go !!

Bonus! Sweet. You're spoiling us, Karl.😜

I’d never even seen or thought of this before? What a great idea 💡 👍👌🔨👆👊 Thanks for sharing 👍👊

I had a 1975 Chevy blazer kinda rare at the time I pad $1,500 for it when I was in my early 20’s I worked on that thing all most everyday I had so much fun working and driving on that thing I went to a trade school for auto body and I never learned as much there that I’ve learned watching you Karl,Tony, chad,outlaw garage vice, grip garage keep making your videos Karl…..we need your experience and your teaching skills thank you so much 😊. Grate job editing Christian 👍

Good stuff Karl liked watching it a lot the panels are very sharp looking be nice in the roaders you say they were made for would like to see them installed !!!

Perfect

I love in the first video where you're looking over the top of your glasses at the camera like the old heads do when they're trying to teach something. Love the content man, can't wait to see what you do next👍 Great videos,

Cool!

You do a fantastisk job.🤛🏻👏👏👏👍👍👍💪
